Moral Decay Review

iPhone App - Designed for iPhone, compatible with iPad
By Chris Kirby on January 31st, 2011
Our rating: starstarstarblankstarblankstar :: DIFFICULT!
It's a real, honest-to-goodness throwback to the side-scrollers of the 1980s, but are you ready for that kind of difficulty again?

By Chris Hall on January 28th, 2011
Our rating: starstarstarhalfstarblankstar :: TEDIOUS
Legendary Wars is a solid side scrolling castle defense game, but it requires more micromanagement than I'm willing to put in.

Illusia Review

iPhone App - Designed for iPhone, compatible with iPad
By Chris Hall on December 14th, 2010
Our rating: starstarstarhalfstarblankstar :: UNINSPIRED
RPG fans will get sucked in by the typical RPG formula (get quest, kill X number of enemies, collect gold/XP), but everything in Illusia has been done before. It's good, but not great.

The Red Star Review

iPhone App - Designed for iPhone, compatible with iPad
By Ryan Wood on July 19th, 2010
Our rating: starstarstarstarblankstar :: HARD!!! BUT GOOD
Action packed Red Star is a great addition to the 2.5d side scroll genre in the app store. A high difficulty level may hold back some, but overall it's a great game.

Giant Moto Review

iPhone App - Designed for iPhone, compatible with iPad

Mass Effect: Jacob's Story Officially Confirmed

Posted by Bryan Barletta on May 4th, 2009

Last week, a member of a focus testing group broke his NDA and provided Joystiq with information and images of a previously unknown title called Mass Effect: Jacob's Story for the iPhone and iPod Touch. What was made available at that time was that this game would follow right behind the highly anticipated Mass Effect 2 story-wise. You'll be taking the roll of Jacob Taylor, "a biotic-powered super-soldier who stumbles across a plot to terrorize civilization's greatest beacon of hope." The final bit of information we were left with was that the game would last about 2 hours and cost $2.99.

Astraware Platypus Sneak Peek

Posted by Jeff Scott on November 21st, 2008

Astraware/Handmark today published a video showing some of the gameplay of their new iPhone game, Platypus. It looks to be a pretty good side-scrolling shooter -- something the iPhone has had very few of. (good side-scrolling shooters that is, there are plenty of crappy ones)

No word on the release date yet but would expect it soon. Hit the read more link for the video.
